CALGARY—An Alberta judge says a taxi driver convicted of sexually assaulting an impaired woman he drove home from a Calgary bar must remain in jail. Lemuel Paulos was sentenced to four years in prison in January and had applied to be released on bail pending his appeal. During his trial, Paulos testified in his own defence that it was the woman who attacked him in 2013. He said she threatened to “cry rape” if he didn’t have sex with her. Justice Bruce McDonald of the Alberta Court of Appeal ruled against Paulos’ bail application, saying his evidence at the trial last year bordered on preposterous.
